Illegal E-Cigarette Trade Busted in Telangana

The Eagle Force has busted an illegal e-cigarette supply network operating across Telangana, uncovering a chain allegedly connecting Kolkata, Hyderabad and Karimnagar. In two separate operations, officials arrested two accused persons suspected of being involved in the illegal trade. The operations were part of efforts to curb the sale and distribution of prohibited e-cigarettes in the state. The network reportedly used multiple locations to transport and supply the products.

During the operations, officials seized 31 e-cigarettes and a mobile phone from the accused. The mobile phone is expected to help investigators gather further information about the alleged supply network and identify other people involved. The arrests have exposed suspected links in the Kolkata–Hyderabad–Karimnagar supply chain. Further investigation is underway to establish the source of the e-cigarettes and trace the wider distribution network.
